...proportion of its officers are new to the job. More than half (58%) have less than three years of service; more than a third (36%) have less than 18 months and are still on probationary appointments.

The bill does not endorse any particular storage technology, but the most likely approach will employ long, narrow metal canisters, to be loaded with spent fuel, embedded deep in the rock of large (2,000-acre) manmade caverns, then completely covered over. Aboveground, a typical waste burial site is expected to look something like a mining operation. The method of waste transport is also an issue unaddressed by the bill. The preferred mode is by train...
